Yeah but I think Austin's lack of size and the fact that Bailey scored 25 TD's....that's just unreal. And I know Bailey isnt that much bigger but again...25 TD's. I dont want either one of them though. I want one of the bigger WR's...Terrance Williams, DeAndre Hopkins, Robert Woods, etc. That too me would be a better compliment to what the Steelers currently have.

There is a good chance Austin goes in the second round as well.

Wasn't there a WR from Louisiana Tech who scored like 27 TDs or something one year?

I think Austin scored like 7 TDs in the Orange Bowl against Clemson last year, or maybe 6, I can't remember exactly. Anyways, yeah, we need a big target for sure. Austin would make a better version of what they wanted out of Rainey this past season, he's faster and has incredible balance and vision.

Yes indeed. And he actually had a decent rookie year with 61 receptions. But Pittsburgh (fans), expected more out of him (being a first round pick-13th overall), and made their displeasure known quit often.

I don't know if the Steelers would pick a WR that early in the draft under the circumstances we have. A bigger need might be a TE, we don't know how long it will take for Miller to recover and he's getting up there.

A lot depends on what happens with Wallace. If he returns, then WR is not a huge need. If he does not return, WR becomes a major need.

Wallace returning isn't a topic we need to spend more than one sentence on because it won't happen. It will be much more meaningful to discuss who joins Brown, Sanders, Cotchery and Burress. I think they try to keep Burress and get him at a vet minimum salary. Although not a fan he did perform in limited opportunities.

Personally, I would be looking at adding a TE near the top of our draft. We have seen that with Haley this position is a real weapon.
